Enjoy a day of spiritual retreat and renewal on Wednesday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Daylesford Abbey, a monastery located in Paoli, Chester County. This time of respite is designed for pastors who welcome fresh training, a mental boost and fellowship with colleagues to fortify us for the living of these days. It is described as a time to “reset.” Register today.

Our retreat leader is the Rev. Ron Bell, Director of Healing and Resilience for Discipleship Ministries and The Upper Room. Passionate about “emotional formation” and the intersection of faith and mental health, he is certified in Trauma Response and Crisis Intervention and has authored two books on grief and healing.

An ordained member of the Peninsula-Delaware Conference, Dr Bell has planted and served churches and received his doctorate in ministry from Lancaster Theological Seminary. Today he travels the county leading “Reset Retreats” for pastors doing ministry under the heavy clouds of Covid, political divide, and denominational decline. Learn more about the Rev. Dr. Ron Bell.

This day of refreshment, sponsored by EPA’s Cabinet and Leadership Development office, is offered as a gift to our pastors, whom we value so much! The retreat is FREE for those who register. Optional overnight accommodations at your expense are available at Daylesford Abbey. The beautiful facility and its serenity is itself reinvigorating! 

Come and be restored through corporate worship, Dr. Bell’s presentations, small-group sharing, quiet time and good food. God will assuredly provide the spirit of renewal that our pastors seek.  Register today. Please see and share the promotional flyer.
